"What?" Harm asked as they wait for their main course to be served, Mac was
looking fidgety.
"Do you think she's alright?" Mac asked.
"I'm sure she's fine, it's Sturgis you have to worry about." Harm joked.
"Harm."
"Sarah, she'll be fine." Harm tried to reassure her.
"You couldn't have asked Jen, I would have worried less."
"Sturgis could use a break from work for the night and I'm sure Jen and Jason would appreciate having their Saturday night uninterrupted."
"She offered." Mac pointed out.
"Sarah, do you want to go?" Harm asked.
"No, I'm just, I'm just being neurotic. Sturgis would have called if there was a problem."
"Of course he would." Harm smiled.
"What?" Mac asked noticing the look on his face.
"It's nothing."
"Come on fly-boy spill it."
"It's just I was thinking of the kick-ass Marine I met all those years ago, it's seems hard to equate that image with that of a neurotic mother."
"Is there something wrong with being a neurotic mother Commander?" Mac challenged.
"No ma'am."
"Don't you worry about her?" Mac asked.
"Of course I do, but she's safe with someone I trust implicitly. So I thought we could enjoy spending some time that was just us."
"You're right." Mac conceded. "So what do you want to talk about?"
"How about them Yankee?" Harm joked.
"You're an idiot, but I love you."
"I think I was just insulted there, but I love you too."

"So I...."
"Place a cloth over your shoulder and hold Abi there and rub gentle circles over her back until she burps." Jen explained. Jason was smiling at the thought the intelligent confident lawyer he knew having to ask how to burp a baby.
"Thank Jen."
"Sir, do you want me to come over?" Jen asked.
"Jen, I shouldn't interrupt your evening more than necessary."
"It's okay really sir, I'll be there in twenty minutes."
"Thanks Jen. I'll see you then." Sturgis said sounding relived.
"Yes sir." Jen hung up. "I'm really sorry Jason, I'm going to have to go over there he isn't coping that well."
"Do you want me to come with you?" He asked.
"No, stay here do some revision. I'll be back in a couple hours." She gave him a kiss.

~Callin' out around the world Are you ready for a brand new beat? Summer's here and the time is right For dancin' in the streets Dancin' in Chicago Down in New Orleans In New York City
All we need is music, sweet music There'll be music everywhere There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin' And dancin' in the streets ~
Jen sang dancing around the living room with Abi.
"Jen?" Mac said as she and Harm came through the door.
"Ma'am, sir." Jen replied.
"What are you doing here?" Mac asked taking Abi from her.
"Commander Turner was having a few problems; he spilt water over your instruction list so he called to double check how to heat up her bottle and burp her. I offered to come over because he sounded slightly flustered."
"Where is Sturgis?" Harm asked.
"Upstairs in the bathroom sir, he dropped coffee on himself. I think he's borrowing some of your clothes sir."
"So what's she still doing up?" Mac asked.
"She didn't want to go back to sleep. So I thought dancing around might tire her out."
"It was worth a try." Mac said. "Thanks Jen."
"You're welcome ma'am. I'll head home now; enjoy the rest of your weekend."
"You too Jen." Harm said. "Are you okay getting home?"
"Yes sir."
